KEEP CIRCULATING THE POSTS!

Time to make a new pinned post as the last one was three years ago and now won't even take new links 😅😅 anyway, WELCOME to my blog of chaos, here you will find an eclectic mix of fandoms - a good chunk of which are from the seventies and eightie with a few sixties things thrown in for good measure 😄 - animals (normally cats being ridiculous), art & crafts, politics, terrible puns and amazing photography. Generally my blorbos will either be cinnamon rolls, jerks with a heart of gold, or sarcastic and coolly intellectual (though of course it's not a guarantee as we all know characters can take you by surprise sometimes.)

I also write fanfiction!!! I've a sideblog which is @avatarskywalker78, where I'll not only post links to my fics but also snippets and ask games and where you'll also find info on my many, many OCs - and for one version of one of my Thunderbirds OCs, an RP blog called @aroace-of-space where you can admire all of my two (2) posts so far - but I'm always happy to talk about my fics (and anything else) on either blog, I love to yap about things I like or rant about stupid-ass writing decisions, whichever is fine by me!

I live in the UK so do be mindful of timezones and feel free to drop an ask/message anyway even if I'm not online, I'll get around to it soon enough!!!

Mission to Destiny

Aged P once again remarked on how busy space is made to look on this show, especially in the opening titles - pointing out that if planets were really that close together everyone would be on trouble - and on how the Federation uniforms look very uncomfortable (they really do like that cannot be fun to take on and off at all), and is pleased to recognise the actor playing the pilot but very disappointed when the characters killed off immediately.

They don't remember this episode at all but I do...though I couldn't remember if there was a reason for the fungus (Federation going to extremes to make them join, perhaps) but no, it's just one of those things, do not know whether the science works out but it doesn't matter, it's still an interesting plot...and this line from Avon regarding this ships crew trusting Blake with the cure,.

Avon: It is frequently easier to be honest when you have nothing to lose.

Which is not something you'd expect from him. I do love that this episode is a straight up 'murder mystery...in space' and Avon's having the time of his life trying to figure it out even if he's initially miffed at Cally's remark:

Cally: Remember that Avon and I will be staying. We will regard ourselves as hostages against Blake's return. Avon: *Unimpressed* Well thank you Cally, what a clever idea. Cally: Blake will return. Avon: You can bet your life on it. In fact, you've just bet both our lives on it.

Not quite sure about this line from Cally, if I'm honest.

Cally: My people have a saying - "A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken". Avon: *a brief pause as he visibly tries to figure that out* Life expectancy must be fairly short among your people.

(Don't worry, Avon, I still don't get it either.)

It's a shame that he's right in that money is the motive because both the Aged P and I find that such a boring motive in things, like yay, you're super rich and you only had to condemn your entire planet to starvation to do so...and also wipe out your crew so one has to wonder what the point of knocking everyone out was if the buyers for the neurotrope were always going to destroy the ship anyway, unless she couldn't get poison gas and just had to make do with knockout gas (where'd she get that, though?)

We are both, however, unimpressed with the fact that no one thinks to check the contents of the box before sending it off with Blake, like yes, I know the plot has to happen but honestly...and Avon's so into solving the mystery and so proud of himself for working it out that it doesn't occur to him to have someone keep an eye on Sara!! But the way he lures her out of her hiding place is ingenious and I love that we get a proper fight scene, she wallops him and he wallops her right back and it's great, more of this, please.

(Aged P brought up an excellent point afterwards, which is how on Earth did she even get the box open in the first place given that it's just been established only the Captain can do so?????? That's a massive great plot hole right there, no one thought that through -_-)
